A group of pro-law enforcement locals hold rally in Goleta By JORGE MERCADO NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

“Police Lives Matter,” “fund the police,” and honking horns. Those were the sounds that were resonating loud and proud at both corners of Storke Road and Hollister Avenue in Goleta Saturday morning, as more than two dozen people gathered to support local police and law enforcement in a “Back the Blue” rally. “Everyone just wants to support the cops, I think Santa Barbara has done a great job keeping us safe. It’s safe because of our police and safe because of our community, so I want to keep it that way,” Justin Shores, one of the event’s organizers, told the NewsPress. Mr. Shores, 38, said the idea to hold a rally came about earlier in the week, when an article on lawenforcementtoday.com was published calling for nationwide rallies on Saturday to support the police. After reading the article, he shared it with his friends and began organizing the event. Originally, Mr. Shores said the plan was to hold it near City Hall, but “most people wanted to come here to show a little bit of visual support.” The rally certainly received a lot of support, with passersby honking their horns, motorcyclists revving their engines and others showcasing their flags as they drove by. Mr. Shores was holding an American flag as he chanted while others in the crowd held up signs with phrases such as “Defend don’t defund,” or “Back the badge” and other sentiments. “I mean, it’s one of the hardest

jobs in the world right now. There is no quitting, they’re not getting supported by the people that they’re protecting and we can’t turn our backs on the people that have been helping us for years to protect us so it’s more important than ever to support them,” Mr. Shores said. He added that his father was a police officer while his stepdad was a security guard. “Everyone has some connection to somebody that’s served, so that’s another thing where they are people just like us. They’re our family members, our friends, our co-workers and they need to be supported,” Mr. Shores said. Greg and Miki Hammel were also there to show their support for the police. The couple both said that the actions of a few “bad” cops should not mean that all cops are bad. “They’re making all the cops pay and we believe that most of the cops are good law-abiding people who want to do their job,

“I just don’t know. We have no plan.” Sammi Thomas, owner of 1329 Salon & Spa on 1329 State St., told the News-Press, but it’s a sentiment that resonates with hundreds of local business owners in Santa Barbara County. Since Gov. Gavin Newsom’s order forced the reclosure of indoor operations at nail salons, barbershops, places of worship, fitness centers, and others, more and more businesses are finding it tough to keep the lights on at all -- even if restrictions are lifted again. “We really thought it was just going to be the first and last time (we were forced to close)… but I think that this a second time really made me think, ‘What should I do? What is going to be

next?’” Ms. Thomas said. “It just pushed us to the edge. Like, how are we going to do this?” Ms. Thomas was as excited as she could be when the county first lifted restrictions so she could open up her salon. She opened up in mid-June, about two weeks after the restrictions were lifted on May 27. Despite the excitement, Ms. Thomas knew she had to temper her expectations, as she could only accommodate about 20 to 40% of her normal client base at one time. In addition, with more time being spent on extensive cleaning and making sure everything was safe, that left less time in the day to continually book. Please see CLOSED on A5

“They’re our family members, our friends, our co-workers and they need to be supported,” said Justin Shores, one of the event’s organizers.

and we support them. Without them, we would have anarchy, which we are seeing (in some places),” Mr. Hammel said. Ms. Hammel said that, overall,

defunding the police would be more detrimental and that there are other ways to try to help solve the problem. Please see RALLY on A3

The Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Department announced a settlement in a class-action lawsuit regarding conditions of confinement at the County Jail. The settlement from the Dec. 6, 2017, lawsuit was announced Friday night by the Sheriff’s Office. The case involved plaintiffs Clay Murray, David Franco, Shareen Winkle, Maria Tracy and Erick Brown. The plaintiffs were represented by several different attorneys, including Disability Rights California, Prison Law Office, and King & Spalding LLP. The lawsuit alleged that conditions at the jail do not meet the minimum standards under the Constitution and federal law, with the plaintiffs arguing that the county and Sheriff’s Office “failed to provide adequate mental health and medical care, overused and misused solitary confinement, discriminated against people with disabilities, and allowed for unsanitary and unsafe living conditions for people incarcerated at the jail,” according to the plaintiffs. The lead plaintiff, Mr. Murray, is an Army veteran suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder who uses a wheelchair.

While in custody, the plaintiffs said he received no meaningful mental health treatment and was confined to a housing unit that was inaccessible to people with physical disabilities. “Activities as basic as taking a shower or using the toilet put Mr. Murray at risk of injury every day. Due to overcrowding and the lack of accessible beds, Mr. Murray was forced to sleep on the floor many nights.” read a statement from Disability Rights California. Subject to court approval, the settlement binds Santa Barbara County and the Sheriff’s Office to changes that authorities say have already been implemented and future commitments to improve living conditions for people confined in the jail, said Raquel Zick, sheriff’s spokeswoman. “The County and the Sheriff’s Office have been implementing process improvements and advancements over the last several years consistent with the settlement plan,” Ms. Zick said. “The settlement plan will result in more out of cell time for inmates, specialized mental health units and timelines to address different acuity levels of medical and mental health conditions, increased Please see jail on A7

Several people at the rally argued that defunding law enforcement would be more detrimental and offered other solutions to solve issues surrounding police.

‘We need the nation to be united’ RALLY

Continued from Page A1 “We need to look at the training of officers and maybe give them a background in psychology or give them perhaps a social worker to work with them and advise them, but to defund them it’s just so rude and so ignorant,” Ms. Hammel said. Both Hammels also agreed that the problem, more than the police, is the police unions, which in turn protect the “bad” cops. “I don’t think that the police unions have served our nation because they pretend, they cover up,” Ms. Hammel said. “They don’t want to fire cops that shouldn’t be cops anymore or maybe need to be retrained or helped in some way in their own personal way.” “Unions are incestious, they move them (cops) around like the Catholic church moves priests,” Mr. Hammel added. Grace Wallace was also adamant in her support for law enforcement. “I am African American and I do support my local police. We need our police officers. We need to pray for them, we need to support them, otherwise we have lawlessness so we can’t throw the baby out with the bathwater,” Ms. Wallace said. “We can’t judge all of them for the bad that a few of them do.” Ms. Wallace held a sign that said to support the police but no more police brutality. “We have to look at other ways to disarm an opponent, someone that’s coming against the police and other ways of policing that do not include shooting people dead,” Ms. Wallace said. “The aggressiveness of a police force has to change. This is something that we’ve been dealing with for many many years. Yes, the African American people suffer more with it, yes, it’s true, however, police brutality is so bad

in our country that it’s spread over evenly to the white race at this point now.” She added that defunding the police would not solve the problem because it would just force people to have to try to take care of themselves. “How would you like to call the police and they can’t come and help you? And now we have to arm ourselves as citizens and do what the police officers usually do? That’s crazy, so I don’t think defunding would work at all,” Ms. Wallace said. Rigoberto Jimenez added that the problem with the world right now is the division. “Unfortunately, people have

More than two dozen people gathered in Goleta Saturday to support local police and law enforcement in a “Back the Blue” rally.

been trying to divide the nation. We need to unite, we need to do the opposite,” Mr. Jimenez said. “A house divided won’t stand. We need the nation to be united. We need every single person, more than a person and a color, every single soul to be united by the truth, and that’s why I’m here. Because there is only one God and he loves us all the same.” Mr. Jimenez, who immigrated to the United States from Mexico in 1997, added that he is thankful to be here and that is why he wanted to support the police. “I really am so thankful for being in this country. This country is made for so many immigrants.

This country is a country of freedom in that it will give you the opportunity and freedom,” Mr. Jimenez said. The rally also faced some opposition, with some shouting chants against the rally as they walked by. Overall, the rally received an overwhelming majority of support. At around 3 p.m., people gathered back at the corner of Stroke Road and Calle Real, this time holding signs that were antipolice and against Immigration Customs Enforcement. email: jmercado@newspress.com

Orlando Bloom searching for missing dog MONTECITO — Actor and Montecito resident Orlando Bloom is searching for his dog, Mighty, who went missing earlier this week. The 43-year-old film star, who is engaged to former Dos Pueblos alum Katy Perry, has been searching the local neighborhood for the past several days searching for his dog. On Thursday, he was reportedly seen posting signs that offered a $5,000 reward for the return of Mighty. He took to Instagram on Wednesday to ask for his fan’s help, posting a photo of Mighty with the following caption: “He is chipped and hid collar has a number to call - if you take him to your local vet or shelter or police station he can be traced back to me for a reward please only send REAL info my heart is already broken so please don’t add insult to injury.” — Mitchell White

Census worker jobs available Jobs as temporary, part-time positions census takers are available In Santa Barbara County as local organizers ramp up for inperson visits to households that have yet to respond to the 2020 Census. The non-response follow-up visits were slated for March but were postponed due to COVID-19 restrictions. Door-to-door visits by census takers in the county are expected to begin in August, according to officials. The local census office in Camarillo was closed during the lockdown but has reopened as part of a phased return-to-work plan. “It is not too late to apply for high-paying, temporary jobs to support the Santa Barbara County 2020 Census,” Joni Maiden, co-

chair of the Santa Barbara County Census 2020 Complete Count Committee, said in a statement. “Our county’s self-response rate is 66.1% as of July 1, but our goal is to count every resident in our community. Every person left uncounted equates to a loss of $2,000 per person, per year for the next ten years. Anyone looking to earn extra income and help their community should take the next step and apply.” All census takers will be trained on physical distancing protocols and issued with personal protective equipment. The pay rate is $21 per hour. Applicants must be 18 or older and be available to work days, evenings or weekends. Applicants also must have a valid driver’s license and access to a vehicle, be a U.S. citizen and have a valid Social Security number. Other requirements include undergoing fingerprinting, passing a background check and a review of criminal records. Bilingual applicants are encouraged to apply, but all applicants must be able to speak, read and write in English. For more information, visit www.2020census.gov/jobs. — Mitchell White

Fire department launches new website The Santa Barbara County Fire Department has announced the launch of its newly redesigned website, www.sbcfire.com. The department has worked for the past six months with local web designer Ameravant Web Design to create and develop a website that educates the public, while also providing vital, up-to-date information during times of emergencies and disasters, said Capt. Daniel Bertucelli, fire spokesman. The website has been designed for easy navigation, with an emphasis on wildland fire awareness and preparation. The website aims to keep locals informed of current news, project development standards and emergency operations, Capt. Bertucelli said.

“The redesigned website was, in part, made possible through a grant with the California Fire Foundation. ADA compliance, translation capabilities and hosting security were all priorities during the design and are integrated within the new site to ensure the site is accessible to the diverse population we serve,” Capt. Bertucelli said.

Life, color and tranquility Santa Barbara Botanic Garden proves to be safe, calming haven By GRAYCE MCCORMICK NEWS-PRESS CORRESPONDENT

T

he natural, serene Santa Barbara Botanic Garden, tucked away in Mission Canyon, hums softly with life as it welcomes visitors back to soak in the peaceful sunshine. Described by some as a safe, calming haven from the bustle of the city, the near century-old garden is abundant with native trees, shrubs and flowers. Visitors can weave through trails that display specific plant habitats in numerous ecosystems, as they breathe in the scent of herbaceous plants and listen to the soft bubbling of Mission Creek. Butterflies flutter across the path and bumblebees buzz from flower to flower. From the canyon to the desert and the woodland to the meadow, the garden’s sections stand out for their diversity. Here, hikers are one with Santa Barbara nature. The garden is rich in history, and the staff works each day to preserve the precious plant life unique to the American Riviera. With the perfect balance of sun and shade provided by the towering redwood trees, the Botanic Garden gifts all who enter a breath of fresh air. Although the indoor areas are still closed because of COVID-19, everyone is now welcome to walk the paths any day of the week from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. For more information, go to sbbg.org. email: gmccormick@newspress.com

‘We’ve just done what we needed to do’ CLOSED

Continued from Page A1 Still, not even all that could bring down her positive attitude. “We were just so excited and we called all of our clients who already had canceled to try to rebook them,� Ms. Thomas said. “My husband and I decided we just wanted to provide the best protection for all of us. We installed ventilation for fresh air every hour, hand sanitizers and we spaced everything apart, 14 feet even, and we tried to just make it better.� Unfortunately, not even a month later and she and her salon are back on lockdown. As of right now, current restrictions from the State Board of Cosmetology do not allow hair salons to continue operations outdoors. Ms. Thomas has said that her other option would be to make house calls, but feels it is not safe to continue doing so. “We have to take risks to drive to the clients, going to client A and client B. I am not sure though because If I keep doing this way, I am not confident. I feel like that’s not even safer, it’s a bigger risk for my family and for the clients,� Ms. Thomas said. Ms. Thomas received some help from the federal government’s Paycheck Protection Program, but even that money has not been enough. She added most of her stylists said they might not be able to return if and when they are allowed just because of their struggles. “Most of my salon stylists, they have kids and they are struggling to feed the kids, and then this happened. Every other industry right now is in a struggle, so I cannot give you a right answer about what I have planned because I just don’t know what to do,� Ms. Thomas said. Even with all the pressure on her though, Ms. Thomas said she does have just one goal during this pandemic. “Our ambitious plan for this year is to stay healthy and just remain grateful for all of us,� Ms. Thomas said. Jorge Salgado, owner of The Barber Shop in the 1200 block of

State Street, was one of the first who tried moving his operations outdoors, but was shut down earlier this week. In the coming days as he awaits a decision or help from the state Board of Cosmetology, he said part of his focus is on helping his stylists and hopefully getting help in return from his landlords. “I won’t be charging them rent. Hopefully my landlords can help me out still. There’s a lot on my plate,â€? Mr. Salgado told the NewsPress via text message. Some businesses have been allowed to move outdoors, however, and it’s made a big difference. Jazzercise Santa Barbara recently made the move right outside the Youth Page Center and has been slowly staying afloat. “I have been so grateful because we have such a supportive loyal group of jazzercisers and they’ve stayed with us,â€? Suzy Cawthon, owner of Jazzercise Santa Barbara, told the News-Press. “Some people just can’t anymore in this environment but there’s been so much support so it’s been really great.â€? Ms. Cawthon said that her business is down 20 to 25%, but she is happy that she could at least stay doing classes in person. “It’s killing everybody right now, all the small businesses‌ but we’ve just done what we needed to do, to be faithful and loyal to our clients and they’ve been so appreciative. And, our clients, the ones that want to come, really want to come and it’s a different experience when you’re dancing with others than when you’re doing it in your kitchen,â€? Ms. Cawthon said. Ms. Cawthon said that the

experience has been incredibly stressful and unprecedented but she’s just thankful for the help she’s received, not just from her clients but from the Youth Page Center as well. Also, while places of worship are not businesses, they too have taken a hit. But, the Rev. Dr. David Moore, the lead pastor at the New Covenant Worship Center, said he never felt like his place of worship closed down. “I have never considered us closed, so I never embraced the term reopened because we always remain open,� Rev. Dr. Moore said. For the Rev. Dr. Moore and the church’s followers, they understand that the situation the world is currently facing is bigger than anything else. “I think that our folks, for the most part, just understand the risk. We’ve never been in this place before and we’re not going to pretend our way out of it,� he said. “Another factor is, we are part of Santa Barbara and we owe it to be responsible and to, if necessary, exercise some kind of moral leadership.� All of the Masses have been held online and through Zoom and also live streamed on the group’s Facebook page. There are Q&A’s after every Mass on Zoom. Switching to online has also helped the church have guest pastors and speakers that the Rev. Dr. Moore said he “never even would have dreamed of.� Donations are a big part of how churches remain open, however, and the Rev. Dr. Moore said that while they are not meeting in person and some are skeptical to donate online, they have been able

to stay afloat because they have reached a bigger audience. “Since we went virtual, people have joined us from other parts of the country so they feel a part of it, and some make regular contributions, but that’s been a big part,� he said. “Last week we had people from Hawaii, Chicago, Minneapolis, Pasadena, Santa Maria and that’s what I can remember off the top of my head.� As a token of appreciation, he also hopes to continue accommodating these people around the country when they move back to in-person Mass. “I suspect that we will always have a virtual aspect to what we do, because we’re not going to just abandon these people because some of them are helping

Metzger finishes second to Gaucho recruit in junior golf tournament By MARK PATTON NEWS-PRESS SENIOR WRITER

San Marcos High’s Leo Metzger got to play only two weeks of his freshman golf season this spring before the COVID-19 pandemic took him off course. He made up for lost time this week, however, by finishing second on Friday to a UCSB-bound recruit in the Championship Boys Division of the 45th annual Titleist Match Play Championship at the Buenaventura Golf Course. Metzger, who won the boys 11to-14 age division in this same event last year, advanced to the final before losing to recent Milken Schools graduate Griffin Feldman, of Encino. The four-day tournament was the first of five events on this year’s Ventura County Junior Golf Association Tour and Mini-Tour schedule. Metzger, who tied for seventh in Tuesday’s qualifying round with a two-over-par 72, won four matches to advance to the final. He opened match play with a resounding win over Carson Diaz of Porter ranch, up five holes with four to go. He then defeated Nick Siegel-Ravo of Calabasas, 4 & 2. He routed Nickolas Waldock of Westlake Village 7 & 6 in the quarterfinals before earning his spot in the championship match with a 2 & 1 victory over Sanad Safadi of Thousand Oaks. Callaway Winans, who will be

a senior this year at Santa Ynez High, also had a long run in the boys championship division after tying for 12th in the qualifying round with a 73. Winans advanced to the semifinals with match-play wins of 5 & 4 over Gavin Jennings of Calabasas, 1-up over Giancarlo Sacco of Bakersfield, and 2 & 1 over Ricky Reisner of Valencia.

match against Metzger. Santa Barbara High’s Hudson Hatton also competed in the boys championship division, tying for 22nd in the qualifying round with a 77. He defeated Ethan Alpert of Westlake Village 1-up in the first round of match play but lost in the second round to Safadi, 2 & 1. Lizzie Goss, also of Santa Barbara High, was the secondleading qualifier in the girls championship division. She shot a 71 to finish just two strokes behind top qualifier Lindsay Yao of Whittier. Goss was eliminated in the quarterfinals of match play, 3 & 1, by Simi Valley’s Ashley Zook. Yao beat Zook for the title on Friday. Aoife Braverman, Goss’ Santa Barbara High teammate, placed 12th in the qualifying round with a 90. Jeffrey Foster of Santa Barbara also just missed the top-eight cut in the boys 11-to-14 division, shooting an 83 to tie for 10th. Next up on the VCJGA calendar is the 53rd annual Founder’s Cup at Camarillo’s Las Posas Country Club on July 27. Future events are the TaylorMade Tour Championship at Ojai’s Soule Park on Aug. 8-9, the 46th annual Ventura City Junior Championships by Play-I at Ventura’s Olivas Links on Sept. 1213, and the Santa Barbara County Junior Championships at Solvang’s Alisal River Course on Oct. 10-11. email: mpatton@newspress.com

Taggert’s gem leads Foresters to 5-0 win Luke Taggert tossed six innings of shutout ball Saturday night, as the Santa Barbara Foresters defeated the San Francisco Seals by a score of 5-0. The University of Oklahoma product notched 11 strikeouts and allowed just two hits and didn’t issue a walk. His outing was the longest by a Foresters’ pitcher on the season. As he has done throughout the young season for Santa Barabra (14-3), Jace Jung provided the offensive punch. The Texas Tech commit, who entered the game with a .575 batting average, went 3-for-4 and drove in two runs. His solo home run to centerfield in the bottom of the first opened the scoring for Santa Barbara, and he followed it up with an RBI single in the bottom half of the third to give the Foresters a 2-0 lead. In the bottom of the fourth, Christian Encarnacion

reached on an error and advanced to second base. He later scored on a safety squeeze by Peyton Graham to make it 3-0. Graham ripped a two-out double in the bottom half of the sixth and scored on an RBI single by former Santa Barbara High star and future Cal Poly Mustang Bryce Warracker to make it 4-0. Warracker added an RBI double in the bottom of the eighth to round out the scoring. Ian Churchill relieved Taggert in the seventh and struck out four in his two innings of work. Dylan Porter retired the side in order in the ninth. The Foresters’ pitchers combined for 16 strikeouts on the night to help Santa Barbara split the two-game series. The Foresters will be back in action today, taking on the Santa Maria Pea Soup at 2 p.m. at Pershing Park. No spectators are allowed due to COVID-19 restrictions. — Mitchell White

Sheriff’s Benevolent Posse receives anonymous donation for COVID-19 supplies By MITCHELL WHITE NEWS-PRESS ASSOCIATE EDITOR

The Santa Barbara Sheriff’s Benevolent Posse provided the Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Department with a $10,000 anonymous donation last week, which will be used to purchase supplies and personal protective equipment for Sheriff’s personnel. Board members for the Benevolent Posse, a nonprofit that raises money for the Sheriff’s Office, recently presented the donation to Sheriff Bill Brown at the Sheriff’s headquarters. The Sheriff’s Office will use the donation to purchase muchneeded PPE for line level staff who work in patrol and custody settings. The funds will also be used for necessary supplies to keep all the Sheriff’s employees safe, such as masks, hand sanitizer and disinfectant supplies, said Lt. Erik Raney, sheriff’s spokesman. With a limited budget, the Sheriff’s Office relies on donations to fund certain programs and equipment items that are beyond budget resources, Lt. Raney said. “The Posse is a group of incredibly dedicated philanthropists who seek donations and grants to benefit the Sheriff’s Office,� Sheriff Brown said in a statement. “Because of their extraordinary

generosity we are able to provide programs and resources to our people and our communities that would otherwise not be available.� The Benevolent Posse raises funds annually to support the D.A.R.E. and Explorer programs, Sheriff’s K9 units and Mounted Enforcement Unit. The group has also purchased important protective equipment and supplies for the department, including helmets and protective vests for the Custody Operations Special Operations Response Team, ballistic vests for the department’s K9’s, and contributions towards the purchase of the Hostage Negotiations Team command post vehicle, among other items. “The Sheriff’s Benevolent Posse owes a deep debt of gratitude to the donors to the Posse — especially the anonymous donor who donated this $10,000 with the specific request that it be used for COVID-19 protective equipment,� Sara Oshaughnessy, president of the Benevolent Posse, said in a statement. “It’s only due to generous donors like this that the Posse is able to assist the Sheriff’s Office in filling their unfunded, urgent needs.� For more information about the Benevolent Posse, visit www. sbsheriffsposse.org. email: mwhite@newspress.com

Continued from Page A1 observations of actively suicidal inmates and decreased use of safety cells.� Improvements to the Main Jail will provide ADA-related modifications and adequate space for programming for vulnerable populations and will allow increased participation in recreational activities, Ms. Zick said. Both the Sheriff’s Office and the county have agreed to continue to address the jail’s “asserted deficiencies until durable solutions are implemented,� Ms. Zick said, adding that many requirements have been partially or completely implemented. Sheriff Bill Brown issued a lengthy statement on the settlement, which he called “a milestone in our agency’s delivery of correctional services� to those in custody. “(The settlement) sets the path toward much needed improvements in the processes, programs, and overall environment of the entire Main Jail campus,� Sheriff Brown said. “As these measures are implemented, we will be able to provide better correctional services to our incarcerated community members. Although our Custody professionals have performed admirably for years, they have been hampered in their efforts by limited resources and an obsolete and inefficient jail facility that is more than 50 years old. The much-welcomed subject matter expert evaluations and remedial plans that are a part of this agreement will pave the way toward a comprehensive community of care for the entire inmate population.� Sheriff Brown said he appreciates the support from the county Board of Supervisors in the settlement, and also expressed

gratitude to custody staff and members of the county counsel’s office to bring together “a roadmap for future progress.� “As we enter into this agreement we know there will be many difficulties in meeting the myriad of requirements it contains, but I have confidence that the dedicated men and women in our Custody Operations Branch will rise up and see to it that we meet those challenges,� Sheriff Brown said. The Sheriff’s Office and the county have agreed to pay the plaintiff’s counsel $1,132,809 for “reasonable fees and expenses incurred� when an investigation was launched into the conditions at the jail. “We have communicated with hundreds of people held in the Santa Barbara County Jail, and have heard again and again that the conditions there are simply intolerable. The design and conditions of this half-century old jail have no place in modern society,� Aaron Fischer, litigation counsel at Disability Rights California, said in a statement. “This settlement comes at a moment of critical urgency and great opportunity. The jail’s dangerous conditions are compounded by the tremendous risk that the COVID-19 pandemic poses to our clients. And we are also seeing a long overdue discussion about institutional racism and mass incarceration, both of which disproportionately harm people — especially people of color — with mental health needs and other disabilities. With this settlement, the community should expect significant improvements in conditions at the Santa Barbara County Jail.� A copy of the settlement can be found at https://www.sbsheriff.org/ class-action-stipulated-judgementand-notice-of-settlement/. email: mwhite@newspress.com

HILLMAN, Lois Manning

Lois Manning Hillman passed away July 14, 2020, fifteen days before her 97th birthday. She was blessed to have lived independently in her home, and with a sharp mind, until the day of her passing, which was quick and painless. Born July 29, 1923, in Philadelphia to Kenneth C. Manning and Elizabeth E. Schick, Lois graduated from Ursinus College with a degree in chemistry. She married Richard Brace Hillman September 18, 1948 and they had 66 wonderful years together until his death in 2014. Dick and Lois raised their children in Plymouth Meeting, PA and alternated vacations between the southern Jersey Shore and road trips throughout the U.S. Family was first for Mom, and she created a loving home for her children, always doing the best for them and giving them every opportunity. Her homemaking included sewing clothing, refinishing furniture, making lampshades, ceramics, and wreaths, hosting bridge parties, the poker group, and countless holidays. If not for Mom, we would have empty photo albums. The family moved to Sherwood Forest, CA in 1975 and after Dick’s retirement, Mom and Dad played bridge with their dear friends, and loved socializing in Wrightwood at their second home. They also traveled two or three times each year. Mom loved to shop on those trips and always brought back gifts for her children and grandchildren. Gathering for family birthdays and holidays, keeping traditions, and treasuring family antiques was what brought Mom the most happiness. She was a member of the Assistance League of Southern California Hilltoppers Group and the Old Treasures Club. She was also a supporter of animals, donating to their causes, and adopting the kitties that came her way. Lois is survived by her son Kenneth Hillman (Kristy) of Oceanside, daughter Elizabeth Boscacci (Dennis) of Santa Barbara, grandchildren Kira Dewey (David), Geena Dargan (Jackson), Kellen Hillman, Karl Boscacci, and great-grandson Ethan Dewey. Her cats Bobby, Sweetie Pie, and Bingo, along with her goldfish Brady (named after her favorite football player) will miss her too. She was a special sweet lady, loving, tireless, evenkeeled, and always there for us. We will miss her dearly. A celebration of Lois’ life will be held when appropriate under the pandemic guidelines. Those wishing to honor her memory may make a donation to The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA).

PRITCHARD, Dr. Glyn Owen September 26, 1931-July 8, 2020

Glyn peacefully passed away on July 8, 2020, a few months short of his eighty-ninth birthday with his wife Jean by his side. Glyn was born in Bangor, Wales and moved with his family to Altrincham where he experienced life in England during WWII including seeing a war plane shot down, bomb shelters, wearing a gas mask at school and food rationing. He received his Ph.D. in Chemistry from the University of Manchester in 1955 and left England shortly thereafter to work at the Research Council in Ottawa. He accepted a teaching position at the Royal Military College (RMC) in Kingston, Ontario, where he met his life-long friend Dr. John Dacey who recommended him for a position at UC Santa Barbara. Glyn moved to Santa Barbara in 1958 and joined UCSB as a Postdoctoral Scholar and then as a Professor in the department of Chemistry. During his 30-year tenure in the department he taught a variety of chemistry courses, including environmental chemistry courses he established. Glyn played a central role in developing the department’s graduate program and was graduate advisor for many years. He had an active research program with more than 60 scientific publications as well as served as the chair of the department for nine years in the 70’s. He had many friends and colleagues and mentored dozens of students. After he retired in 1991, he was recalled to assist with the construction of PSB North and renovation of the existing Chemistry building due to his expertise and knowledge about the department and their labs and equipment. Glyn returned to Kingston in the summers to teach the cadets at RMC. His faculty position came with officer privileges and access to the Officer’s Mess where he met Jean, his wife of almost 60 years. He convinced her to marry him and to travel 3,000 miles to Santa Barbara in 1960 where they bought a home and started a family. He was preceded in death by his parents, Owen and Lillian and by his brother Huw and his sister Olwen. He is survived by his wife, Jean and his daughters, Lynne, Megan and Bronwyn and his grandchildren, Emma, Connor and Griffith as well as nieces and nephews Karen, David, Howard, Michael and Rueth and Jean’s 11 siblings and their families. Glyn and Jean’s many trips to Ontario and Vancouver over the years created close and memorable relationships with our Canadian family. His grandchildren’s memories of their Taid include playing Candyland with Emma, hoops, chess and pirates with Connor and Griffith and reading them books about animals. Glyn was a playful and interested grandfather and his grandchildren loved his quick wit and “punny” jokes. And while he never owned a pet, he was also a wonderful Taid to the many pets that joined our family. It seemed like they always came home a few pounds heavier after a stay with Taid due to the many treats he insisted they needed. In school, Glyn played soccer and cricket and continued to play after he moved to Santa Barbara. He was the life of the party and the first on the dance floor. He was known for his limericks, whether being able to recite many from memory or written by him for the occasion. He enjoyed a run on the beach and playing golf even though he said he had a “cricket” swing. He loved all kinds of music; bagpipes were a sentimental favorite and more than one dinner party at their home ended with Amazing Grace and Danny Boy on the stereo. A good glass of wine, shared with friends and family was a great source of pleasure for him. Glyn was a true success story. He left England with the proverbial $25.00 in his pocket and through his hard work made a comfortable life far away from where he was born and raised. Glyn was sensible and responsible and he provided well for his family and was always available when we needed his help. Please raise your glass and make a toast to Glyn and if you would like, a donation in his name to your favorite charity or cause. A memorial will be planned for a later date.

CASAS, Paul Ortiz, Jr. On Palm Sunday, April 5, 2020, Paul Ortiz Casas Jr. passed away peacefully surrounded by his devoted wife, Connie Casas, and his immediate family. Paul was born in Fillmore, CA on October 22, 1939 to Paul Casas Sr. and Antonia Ortiz Casas. He, along with six siblings, grew up on Sespe Ranch with a world of adventure at his doorstep. He took pride in telling stories at the table of how he learned to swim by being thrown into the riverbed at age four. His swimming skills later earned him the title of “Kingfish” among his family and followed him into his adult life. He landed his first job at eight years old, hunting gophers on the ranch. His first paycheck was 11 dollars and he proudly bought his father, Paul Casas Sr., a pair of boots. Paul and Connie wed on April 20, 1963 in Santa Paula. Paul was then drafted into the US Army on their wedding day. His service took him to Texas and Germany. Once he returned home, Paul worked at Elkins Ranch Golf Course building “the back nine” and began his career then with Kenneth Hunter Jr. He moved Connie and their two boys, Paul and Christopher, to Santa Barbara to build Sandpiper Golf Course in 1971. They had their daughter, Melissa, soon after. After the completion of Sandpiper, Paul continued his education and received an Associate’s Degree from Santa Barbara City College in horticulture. Paul was very involved with his family, coaching his children and serving as a board member at the Goleta Boy’s Club. He also served as Dad’s Club President at Bishop Diego Garcia High School, which all of his children attended. Many memorable afternoons and evenings were spent coaching, calling BINGO, and fundraising. He was devoted to his passion of building golf courses for 42 years. In addition to Sandpiper Golf Course, Paul built La Purisima, San Geronimo, and Hunter Ranch. Paul and Connie retired in 2006 and immediately started their traveling adventures at sea to Fiji, then returned to their second home at Lake Nacimiento, CA. Paul enjoyed hosting dinner parties, barbecues in the summer, daily Rumikub games with Connie, playing pool, tending to his gardens and swimming and teaching his grandchildren valuable lessons and life skills. Paul was a devoted husband, father and grandfather. Paul and Connie experienced true love for each other for 58 years. Paul would say his greatest accomplishment was his family. He is survived by his wife, Connie; three children: Paul III (Lisa), Christopher and Melissa; his grandchildren: Danika and Justin Casas, Luke and Maxine Borders, and Kai and Diego Casas. He has three surviving siblings: Irene Deskins, Gloria Castaneda and Joanne De La Torre. The family is eager to celebrate Paul’s life once we are able to.

JOHNSON, Verne Lee

Verne Lee Johnson passed away peacefully in the early hours of July 4, 2020 at the age of 91. Born May 6, 1929 in Minden, Nebraska, he was the seventh of eight children. Verne moved to Santa Barbara at the age of 11 with his family and graduated from Santa Barbara High School in 1947. He then served four years in the Naval Reserve. While in high school, Verne worked at Jordano’s Grocery Store on San Andres St., beginning a lifelong career in the grocery business. It was also while working at Jordano’s, where he met his wife of 68 years, Barbara May (McLaughlin). Verne and Barbara were married in 1950 at Montecito Presbyterian Church. While growing his young family, Verne continued his journey in the grocery business as a salesman for Nestle and Folgers Companies, traveling to stores throughout central California. Verne was so well liked and respected by the owners of one particular business, the Isla Vista Market, that in 1965, the owners offered to sell and finance the business to him. Verne and Barbara owned and operated the successful store into their sixties and, keeping it a family affair, brought in their three children who still manage it today. In his young adult years, Verne became an avid sailor and water skier in the Santa Barbara Harbor. He and Barbara built a cabin at Lake Nacimiento, generously sharing their lake experience with family and friends. Verne delightedly spent hours in his boat teaching countless friends and relatives to waterski. He later discovered golf, joined La Cumbre Country Club and vacationed regularly in Palm Desert and Hawaii. Verne and Barbara also enjoyed traveling the world, sailing on a multitude of cruises. The most precious part of Verne’s life however, was spent with family. He and Barbara gathered with his siblings and their families for countless, festive holidays, events and parties throughout his lifetime. Verne is preceded in death by his wife Barbara and survived by his children; Lee (Lisa), Terri Brown, Ron (Diane), grandchildren; Brittany, Ben (Emily), Jason, Kimberly, Melissa, Brandon and by many relatives in the large, extended Johnson family who he will always be remembered affectionately as “Candyman.”

COLBURN, Gaylene We remember Gaylene as a loving mother, wife, sister, tante, and friend. Her impact was felt by so many in the Santa Barbara community who knew her outgoing nature and infectious laugh. She was called home to Jesus on Saturday, July 11th after a brief battle with leukemia. Gaylene Helen Kootstra was born on July 24th, 1961 to Helen and Dewey Kootstra, she was the third of five children. The family of Dutch immigrants called North Hollywood home and lived next to the family dairy. She spent her childhood in Sun Valley, California, and attended Village Christian School and Bethel Christian Reformed Church where her faith was nurtured and grew. When she was in high school the family dairy business brought them to Bakersfield. She went on to Westmont College to study business, where she would eventually meet the love of her life, Dale Colburn. They met while skiing the slopes of Utah on an interim semester, and married after graduation on January 21, 1984. They made their home in Santa Barbara where she worked as an accountant, and they enjoyed an adventuresome decade as a couple before the birth of their daughters, Ciena and Adyson. The adventures continued with camping trips, whitewater river rafting, snow-skiing and waterskiing; Gaylene leading the pack with skill and grace. Gaylene was an immensely talented woman who put her skills to good use serving her community. She designed printed materials for church and mothering groups, and organized nearly everything for her daughter’s volleyball teams. She was generous with her time and effort, often staying up all night to finish a project. As an accomplished seamstress who often altered wedding dresses and sewed clothes for her girls, she recently made over 200 masks for family and friends. Every broken appliance was conquered by her resourceful determination. She was incredibly bold and fearless. One look at her face after she flew down the ski slope and it was clear that she absolutely loved her life. She made friends everywhere she went, often accompanied by her dog Roxy, and always had time to talk and listen. In recent years, she took great pride seeing her daughters mature into strong, independent women, celebrating with them in their successes. She loved being a mom, and was thrilled to see the fruits of her teaching in their lives. She will be missed by her family, her loving husband Dale and daughters, Ciena and Adyson Colburn, her brothers Howard and Perrin Kootstra, sisters, Marlene Burell and Joy Morrow and by countless friends and nieces, nephews, in-laws and cousins. Gaylene was a woman of true faith, beloved by her friends at Trinity Baptist, Calvary Chapel and Santa Barbara Community Church, and we take comfort in knowing that she is now home with her Lord and Savior.

Alice Genevieve Favor, a woman with a deep faith in Christ and a joyful spirit, died June 21, 2020, weeks short of her 93rd birthday. She was born July 18, 1927, in Pasadena, California, the only child of Lyman Theal and Genevieve (Jidy) Rogers Theal, nee Willard. Alice majored in business at the University of Southern California, where she met her husband, Earle Wallin Favor. Instead of completing her final semester of college, she got married January 25, 1949. While Earle completed his law degree at USC, Alice sold housewares at Bullock’s Department Store in Pasadena, earning top commissions and becoming an expert in European china. She left this successful career when she became pregnant with the first of their four children. As she raised her family, she got involved in the local community and taught her children the value of service. In return, they volunteered her to head projects at school, lead a Girl Scouts troop or help with other activities for children. She accepted these unexpected assignments with grace despite occasional misgivings. When she married a scratch golfer, Alice decided to take up the game, and she played regularly with Earle, especially in their later years. She ruefully said her swing never fully recovered from playing late into four pregnancies. In 1964, the family moved to Santa Barbara, a city they loved. While Alice missed her wide circle of friends in Pasadena and Altadena, she soon became involved with El Montecito Presbyterian Church and the Montecito Y, where she led after-school groups for children and volunteered in other ways. A naturally gregarious person who loved people, Alice suffered a severe hearing loss in her late 20s that grew worse over time and left her increasingly dependent on hearing aids and lip-reading to communicate. She rarely complained about this and worked hard to hear and connect with others. She learned to smile and nod, and some people never suspected how little she heard. As her children grew up, they began to realize they won the lottery for mothers. Always supportive and involved in their lives, she taught them how to overcome challenges and persevere. They felt safe sharing both their successes and their failures with her. Alice also became a mother to some of her children’s friends who received the love and understanding from her lacking in their own homes. She accepted people as she found them and liked them for who they were. Her grandchildren eagerly looked forward to visiting her. She devoted time to each individual, playing games with them, walking on the beach, going for surrey rides, and visiting the zoo and museums. She also adored her great-grandchildren, although her age limited her activities with them. Alice joined the Missions Committee at El Montecito and served for many years, raising money for Christmas gifts to missionaries overseas and faithfully purchasing and mailing the requested items months in advance. Many of the missionaries became dear friends. She volunteered as a teacher’s aide at Montecito Union School and later became a paid aide but had to quit when her hearing deteriorated further. She loved her students and had a gift for relating to children. She then worked with Earle in his law practice as his secretary until they retired together. Her dazzling smile always delighted people, even from her wheelchair. Her kindness and joyfulness endeared her to many. Her keen intellect and discernment about people added depth and substance to her friendliness. Earle died in 2015, a month shy of their 67th wedding anniversary. Alice is survived by her children, Nancy Phinney (Bob), Brad (Nina), Kathleen Weyant (John) and Lynn Hertzfeld (Bruce); nine grandchildren, Sam Phinney, Jon Wentzel, James Wentzel, Alex Favor, Michael Favor, Charlie Favor, Christopher Weyant, Melissa Weyant, and Sarah Hertzfeld; and seven great-grandchildren, including Alice Rose Wentzel, who was named for her.

SOLUTION ON D3

HOROSCOPE ARIES — This week could make you aware of your weak points and vulnerabilities. Use this opportunity to take stock and perhaps lower your expectations so you don’t feel you’re reaching beyond your limits. TAURUS — This coming week could find you making some decisions to help you move things forward. The main point is to be realistic, you’re encouraged not to run before you can walk. GEMINI — Issues around money and resources in general continue to be in focus and look to be so for some time into the future. This week you might be trying to find a balance between personal needs and paying off any outstanding bills or debts. CANCER — You could be channeling a lot of energy into other people and their needs and plans, and this week you could be a tad resentful about this. Get time to yourself that you deserve. LEO — The need for quiet and a chance to recharge could clash with a busy work schedule that seems to show no signs of letting up. This week you might be very eager to enjoy some alone time to meditate, VIRGO — Powerful influences may affect you this week. This can be a source of tension that highlights your social life and need to mingle. LIBRA — This week you may become aware of how experiences from the past are affecting your current relationship and perhaps other associations as well. SCORPIO — This week is very much a time to understand the power of thinking and how it can shape your circumstances.Your thoughts may be very focused and therefore able to influence your life more than they might normally. SAGITTARIUS — This week can bring a range of issues into greater focus. But, in essence, you might wonder how you can improve your finances. CAPRICORN — Input from others could be very helpful this week if it enables you to see things from a fresh perspective. Their thoughts could help you clarify matters and even see the bigger picture. AQUARIUS — The more you delve into the deeper layers of your subconscious mind, the more you can discover about yourself. With a focus on this for some time to come, you may already have learned a lot about what makes you tick. PISCES — Your creative and imaginative side is in focus this week, encouraging you to enjoy channeling your natural talents into art, crafts, music, dance, or whatever your favorite mode of expression is.

SOLUTION ON D3

Every number in the codeword grid is ‘code’ for a letter of the alphabet. Thus the number 2 may correspond to the letter L, for instance. All puzzles come with a few letters to start you off. Your first move should be to enter these letters in the puzzle grid. If the letter S is in the box at the bottom of the page underneath the number 2, your first move should be to find all cells numbered 2 in the grid and enter the letter S. Cross the letter S off the list at the bottom of the grid. Remember that at the end you should have a different letter of the alphabet in each of the numbered boxes 1 - 26, and a word in English in each of the horizontal and vertical runs on the codeword grid.

pops off

D

ear Abby: My mother-in-law has begun doing the “pop-in.� My husband passiveaggressively hinted that he wished he had known she was coming over. Her response was, “I’m your mother; I don’t need to let you know when I’m coming over.� I regard this as total disrespect. She has done this plenty of times — including popping in when I was having a dinner with my parents and children, which made her mad because she and my father-in-law hadn’t been invited. She did the pop-in again last week. My husband, four children and I were about to sit down to a family dinner when she rang the doorbell. I didn’t have enough food for her and my father-inlaw, which made us all uncomfortable. She made a sarcastic comment, Abigail “Gee, I guess I Van Buren shouldn’t have come over,� then she sat in the living room staring at us as we ate. I have begged my husband to say something, but he says it would be disrespectful. I said it is disrespectful that she comes over without checking with us first. What’s your take on this? — No Pop-Ins, Please Dear No Pop-Ins: You have my sympathy. Your motherin-law is a handful. Your husband may be so cowed by his mother that he’s afraid to assert himself. You are under no obligation to entertain anyone who pops in, including her. The next time she shows up unannounced, remind her to call first and suggest that she come back some other time. Dear Abby: My fiancee has a 15-year-old son, “Jason,� who spends countless hours in his room playing Xbox with his buddies. He is loud and obviously has fun, by the sound of it. However, when he comes out for meals, he doesn’t communicate or answer questions like, “How was school?� or “What do you think of that?� My fiancee and I don’t live together. We see each other three times a year for two to three weeks at a time. My fiancee says Jason acts the same way whether I’m here or not. He isn’t close with his dad, either. Is this a phase that he will grow out of, or does he need professional help? We get along, but there is never much conversation. I ask questions to encourage interaction, but it hasn’t been successful. — Frustrated in Montana Dear Frustrated: Whether Jason’s going through a phase or not depends on whether he has always had poor verbal skills and ignored questions he was asked. He might be reluctant to answer because he’s having problems socially or academically in school, or because the opinions you’re asking for concern things he has never given much thought to. Boys that age are sometimes less verbal than when they are older, and their dependence on social media has contributed to it. Teens who spend most of their time in the virtual world tend to have lower verbal abilities than those who spend less. If you and your fiancee are truly concerned, she should talk about this with a counselor at Jason’s school and ask if counseling or intervention of any kind is needed. Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Contact Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

Should I reconnect with the cousin who married my ex?

D

ear Carolyn: I have a cousin I’ve been close to my whole life. She lived abroad for a while, then moved to the area where my family lives and announced she’s dating my high school sweetheart. Two months later they were married. At the wedding, his friends had stories about them dating over a year. I have no romantic feelings for my ex, but I felt betrayed and hurt that she didn’t confide in me as her relationship was developing. For the first year of their marriage, she was reaching out a lot, but I stayed away. I knew from my family that she was going through a tough time acclimating to her new life, but I couldn’t bring myself to face her. Nothing felt authentic about our connection. We now don’t talk except at family gatherings. Sometimes, I remember our good times and feel guilty that I wasn’t there for her. Do I apologize, try to explain myself, or just suggest hanging out as if I didn’t do a 180 on her? — S. S.: I can see it from your perspective: Being the last to know something feels humiliating. Especially when, arguably, you should have been among the first to be told. I can also see it, and have seen it countless times over the years, from your cousin’s perspective: When is the right time to tell someone you’re dating her ex? When you and the ex first notice each other? Start flirting? Meet for drinks? Become a couple? Relationships are gradual; it’s not as easy as it looks to decide when there’s enough “there� to justify initiating this awkward courtesy of a conversation. In hindsight, though, it’s almost always

TONIGHT

obvious when this conversation should have happened — typically a week or month or three in the past, as a person feels overcome by guilt for not having said anything sooner, knowing the other person will now feel betrayed for not being told. Add some conflictavoidant tendencies to this, and the guilt can postpone the overdue conversation even more. It’s just messy and weird no matter how people handle it. Dating an ex, meanwhile — just to make it totally bizarre and human — is perfectly fine. We don’t own people, so your cousin did nothing wrong besides wait too long to tell you. As transgressions go, this is not only pretty mild stuff, but also more common between people who care about each other enough to worry, to the point of a kind of paralysis, about causing pain. I’m not saying this is OK, since it’s cowardly — but it’s also relatable which is a common path to forgivable. I’d argue it’s especially so since you chose the avoidance route yourself, throughout her time of need, instead of just saying to your cousin upfront, “I’m hurt you kept this from me.� If you’re with me to this point, then here’s where we are: You two broke a lifelong bond over understandable hard feelings over the mutual mishandling of something that was, in fact, perfectly fine all along. Speaking only for myself: I’d apologize to my lifelong friend for my part in making a mess of this. I’d say I’m happy for her, missing her and eager to revisit our friendship. Please don’t lose someone just for not having tried. Email Carolyn at tellme@washpost.com or chat with her online at 9 a.m. each Friday at www. washingtonpost.com.

IDEAS & COMMENTARY

SUNDAY, JULY 19, 2020

gUEST OPINION

P

Let’s talk truth about about COVID-19, BLM, City Council

Politicians and criminals are conspiring against the United States

erhaps it was UCLA political science department chair Michael Chwe who said it best: “American democracy can only survive when white people willingly surrender power to multiracial and multigender coalitions.” What does that mean in practical terms? Well, the squad — namely Congresswomen Alexandria Ocasio Cortez, Ayanna Pressley, Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib — have championed “The Breathe Act,” dubbed “The Civil Rights Act of 2020”. The “act” is a project of “The Electoral Justice Movement for Black Lives,” a broad-based coalition of seditious lunatics. Unfortunately, “the squad,” by endorsing this measure, will apply immense influence among Millennials and far-left activists who hereby assert, for starters, that capitalism itself, is racist. All in all, the legislation itself should be considered a criminal conspiracy! The legislation calls for the reduction of federal funding of local police and federal law enforcement agencies. Why? Because, somehow, the people who arrest and prosecute criminals are

what is wrong in America today! among others, to maim and kill. The proposed legislation calls for The champions of the Breathe the funding that would otherwise Act are demanding that local go to law enforcement to instead jurisdictions close detention be diverted to pay for health care, facilities, including local jails, state education, environmental and prisons and youth prisons. They housing programs, as if we are not want drug convictions retroactively spending enough money in these expunged and all existing state areas as is. juvenile offenses The Breathe Act repealed. eliminates federal Other provisions programs and agencies include abolishing used to finance the Drug surveillance tactics Enforcement Agency, that the proponents of along with, Immigration the Breathe Act claim and Customs Enforcement. are disproportionately For you see, Mexico’s used to target minority Andy Caldwell drug cartels and MS13, communities, such as not to mention the world’s electronic monitoring, various terrorist groups, which includes ankle all of whom exist to prey upon monitors and smartphones.

the war on drugs (read that people in prison) and those who have suffered via the criminalization of prostitution! While they are at it, they want all formerly incarcerated people, including illegal alien felons, to be able to vote in future elections. In fact, the act also proposes to create open borders by decriminalizing illegal immigration. Finally, the bill wants to establish a universal basic income, which is welfare on steroids, and it wants to afford not only voting rights, but free lifetime education, whatever that means, to all illegal immigrants and incarcerated criminals. In summary, the Breathe Act intends to eliminate our lawand-order institutions while aiding, abetting and sanctioning criminals and terrorists. The act, therefore, is nothing less than a declaration of war on the freedom and liberty of law-abiding Americans, our borders, customs and values.

letters to the news-press Propaganda campaign created to demoralize us

W

hy do the Democrats choose criminals over citizens? It’s incomprehensible and counterintuitive, and yet it’s a winning strategy. What does that say about us? It says a propaganda campaign to demoralize us over the crimes of our forefathers had been wildly successful. Joe Biden can’t face a press conference, and yet 52% of the population think he’s the best choice to run a country? Obviously mentally challenged and physically failing, he stands for nothing and puppets socialist tyranny — MARXISM— and yet the majority of voters trust HIM to save us? Some rich guy is pulling the strings and paying off politicians, but it was the Communist Party of China that had set us up, patiently over decades waiting for the spark that could be fanned into the flame of self-immolation. Socialists were embedded in government, the media, professional sports, high tech and big corporations, and they were activated to seize the day when the hounds of hell were loosed upon us — the third plague was toxic love. Mark these words. Derrick Harrison Hurd Santa Barbara

BLM-L.A. leader and anti-Semitism

H

ave you ever heard of a pogrom? If so, you probably picture a band of 18th-century Cossacks riding through the Polish countryside on horses to loot and burn Jewish villages, or shtetls, killing women, children and anything else that moves. Replace the 18th-century Cossacks with young 21stcentury Americans, the horses with cars and the Jewish shtetls with the Fairfax neighborhood of Los Angeles on the night of May 30, 2020. The locals are calling it the “Shavuos Pogrom.” In what is a widely underreported event, protesters from the Black Lives Matter group of Los Angeles purposely met in the oldest Jewish neighborhood in the region to destroy Jewish businesses, schools and synagogues. In all,

they managed to loot a large number of stores, three Jewish schools and five synagogues. The next day, locals woke up to scrawled graffitied images reading an obscene message attacking Jews, “Free Palestine,” and, perhaps scariest of all, “Kill the Jews!” On the night of May 30, while the rioters looted and burned without the intervention of the local police, they chanted an obscene message attacking the police and saying “kill the Jews.” It’s not a far cry from 18thcentury Poland, is it? And lest you think that this was perhaps a small group of people who took advantage of the BLM protests to steal valuables and really had nothing to do with them, let me show you how that is not the case. The “protest” was organized by BLM-L.A.’s leader, Melina Abdullah, who has on numerous occasions said incredibly anti-Semitic things, as well as endorsing and defending multiple outspoken anti-Semites like Louis Farrakhan. It was clear why she decided to hold the looting in L.A.’s oldest Jewish neighborhood, rather than anywhere else in the vast city, when she made claims to the area’s “white affluence”: “We’ve been very deliberate in saying that the violence and pain and hurt that’s experienced on a daily basis by black folks at the hands of a repressive system should also be visited upon, to a degree, to those who think that they can just retreat to white affluence.” Never mind the fact that the majority of people affected were small, nonwhite business owners, most of whom sold non-resellable goods like bread, food, clothing, or medicine. But Ms. Abdullah’s deliberate anti-Semitism doesn’t end there. She has often been seen speaking at Nation of Islam and Louis Farrakhan events, prasing him and others. Mr. Farrakhan has repeatedly said that, “Those who call themselves ‘Jews,’ who are not really Jews, but are in fact Satan,” praised Hitler by claiming, “Hitler was trying to destroy the international bankers controlling Europe” and often simply refers to Jews as “termites.” This sort of language hasn’t stopped Ms. Abdullah from praising and even defending Mr. Farrakhan. Ms. Abdullah’s daughter, Thandiwe, has also hopped onto the hate train, claiming that the Jews have committed “genocide” against Palestinians in the Middle East.

Again, Melina Abdullah and her ilk are not isolated actors choosing to be racist in isolation. Melina is the official head of BLM Los Angeles and a professor of pan-African studies at CalState. She has officially cemented the relationship between BLM and the Nation of Islam, saying, “Minister Farrakhan was calling on folks not to spend their dollars with the white corporations that keep us oppressed, and so we partnered with the Nation and helped to amplify that call.” What does all of this add up to? Well, very little, in the eyes of the national media. In a Front Page Magazine article, author Daniel Greenfield wrote that, “The media repeatedly described Abdullah as an activist against police violence while ignoring her affinity for a racist black supremacist hate group whose leader has described Jews as satanic and subhuman.” He goes on to say that it is scary how underreported the events that took place on the night of May 30 are. That is why I am writing this article for my local community here in Santa Barbara. I want the people here to know that Black Lives Matter, the organization, is far from perfect and should be scrutinized more harshly for harboring such anti-Semitic characters as Mellina Abdullah. Please join me as I write future letters to explore the BLM charter and what it actually stands for, my clashes with BLM protesters in the Santa Barbara City Council, how BLM can adversely affect this community, and, finally, what you can do about it.

Don’t be fooled by BLM movement

E

ver since the death of George Floyd, things have radically changed in America. Protests, riots, violence and destruction have taken place. One noticeable change: the adoption of the term “Black Lives Matter.” Do Americans realize the term has two distinct, if not contradictory meanings? On the one hand, it is a general statement of support for civil rights. That is a good thing if done sensibly. On the other hand, BLM refers to a political movement with a

radical agenda. What is the BLM movement? It was started by three black radical, anti-white marxists, Patrisse Cullors being one of them. Its primary goal is to transform America into a socialist nation and destroy western civilization. How? By defunding and abolishing the police, eradicating capitalism, breaking down the nuclear family, emptying prisons, redistributing wealth and intimidating corporations. How is BLM funded? George Soros. And donations made on the BLM website through the left-wing ActBlue donation platform go to Thousand Currents, which then distributes them to Black Lives Matters. Convicted terrorist Susan Rosenberg is on the board of Thousand Currents. In light of this, will America wake up? Or will it continue to be fooled, scammed and destroyed by the radical BLM movement?

Read Grand Jury’s cannabis report

S

o, our annually convened citizen Grand Jury recently released a cannabis report that exposed the dark underbelly of how Santa Barbara County conducts business. In describing the process, ordinance and our supervisors, they used the following words: “Seriously Flawed Law,” “Disastrous Results,” “Lack of Transparency,” “Incomprehensible,” “Disturbing,” “Very Troubling,” “Apparent Bias,” “Undue Influence,” “Not Good Government,” “Hard to Understand” and “Serious Error.” They also concluded that our “Cannabis Ordinance has changed the quality of life in SB County, perhaps forever”— I agree. PLEASE read the 26 page eye-popping report and 12 recommendations made to the supervisors (uggh!), which COMPLETELY VALIDATES the Reasonable Cannabis lawsuit against the county. I would like to personally thank our Board of Supervisors for destroying our brand and making SB, our very own CannaCounty … lovely. Jeff Giordano Santa Barbara County resident
